Glycerine

Glycerine is an organic compound with moisturising and softening properties. Furthermore, it binds the moisture from the air.

Pumice powder

Pumice is a volcanic rock which forms when lava with a very high content of water and gases is extruded from a volcano and cools when coming in contact with water. As the gas bubbles escape from the lava, the rock becomes frothy. Ground into a fine powder this rock becomes a wonderful ingredient for cosmetic treatment with deep cleansing and scrubbing effect.
Pumice powder ensures effective, mildly intensive peeling, ridding the skin from the old cell layer and leaving it considerably smoother and healthier-looking.

Sugar

Sugar is such a well-known sweetener – we add it to our cup of tea of coffee and use widely in cooking and baking. However sugar can just as effectively be used as a natural treatment to care for the firmness and elasticity of our skin.
The fine, crystalline texture sugar has makes it one of the most popular natural exfoliants – it thoroughly, yet gently removes the old cell layer, preventing the clogging of pores. Sugar also possesses wonderful softening properties. During the peeling treatment, sugar crystals deliver an effective and pleasant massage effect to your skin, thus stimulating micro-circulation in the top skin layers and leaving the skin feeling firmer, smoother and more radiant.

Vegetable oil

The valuable vegetable-based oils are extracted from plant kernels, seeds and plants themselves and used in cosmetics as an excellent emollient. The oils are absorbed quickly nourishing the skin whilst acting as a barrier for moisture loss that gives the skin a velvety, soft and very smooth feeling.
